Question

this is science please help
Which of the following correctly describes what happens to the kinetic energy of water when it changes from the solid state to the liquid state?
The kinetic energy of the molecules decreases.
The kinetic energy of the molecules increases then decreases.
The kinetic energy of the molecules increases.
There is no change in the kinetic energy of the molecules.

Answer 1

"for example a solid piece of ice melting into liquid, at the moment of melting the average kinetic energy of the molecules does not change. the heat used to break the bonds between the ice molecules as they turn into liquid phase"

I think that its D.
(let me know if im wrong please)
I hope this helps ^-^

Answer 2

I'm think it's D! Hope this helps!
